Dan Fogelberg - Longer

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you.
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you.
I'll bring fires in the winters
You'll send showers in the springs
We'll fly through the falls and summers
With love on our wings.
Through the years as the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines in the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you.
Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew
Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you
I am in love with you..

In the depths of a woman's heart there longs for romance, for the vow of undying love and faithfulness. But in through these years of "maturation" have we lost hope for that dream? Marred by stories, circumstances, things that have happened to girlfriends, sisters and other women, are we questioning that there is no such thing as the lyrics written above?

But I know a love and am slowly awakening to it.. Not only to recognize that He has been good and bountiful to my soul, which is His goodness in providence. The next level in the relationship is the wooing, I love romance, the constant repeating of the proclamation that He will love me forever, that I am worth it, that I am beautiful. Women never get tired of hearing that, even so we need to hear it, trust me =)

We've been together since 22nd November 1999, that's like 6 years 6months and 23days. In that time, I realize that You've wooed me with clouds!! (Stasi Eldredge writes that for her its starfish) Thank you my Jesus, the Lover of my soul, Lord dare I say that its just for me.. perhaps that's why I love to take pictures of clouds, as rembrance of ur token of love.

Recently getting to know what it means to love another human being, a son of Adam none the least... that will be a challenge, for he is as fallible and imperfect as me. We hold the same hope, the same faith, the same love in us. Its hard enough to love someone perfect. But to believe in the depths of heart that my eternal Lover will teach me how to love the earthly one.
